→Trivia
- The film's title 'Kannayiram' refers to a traditional Tamil unit of weight, hinting at the detective's role in weighing evidence and truth.
- Director Manoj Beedha previously worked as an assistant director on the acclaimed Tamil film 'Joker'.
- The movie was shot extensively in and around Chennai's railway areas to create an authentic urban gritty atmosphere.
- Actor R. K. Suresh, who plays a key role, is better known for his villainous parts but appears here in a different character shade.
- The film blends crime thriller with comedy, a mix less common in recent Tamil cinema compared to pure genre pieces.
- It was released directly on Disney+ Hotstar, skipping a theatrical run, which was a strategic shift for the team.
- The background score uses elements of jazz and noir music to complement the detective story, a stylistic choice for the genre.
